Expect temperatures ranging from 18° to 5° but Flinders Uni is in the foothills so there will probably be rain and there will definitely be windy. So bring a warm sleeping bag, warm jacket, rain jacket and make sure your tent is adequatly waterproof. *** please note. The conference is now 100% dry - due to misunderstanding about policies. Apologies for this change. No alcohol is allowed to be consumed within Flinders University- if we see people drinking we are obliged that they 'put it away'.***Other essentials include eating gear (cup, plate, bowl, spoon, fork, knife - or various combinations of these!). There's a list of other useful things you could bring ﻿on the website﻿.
